Love Lives On

I heard this song the other day and it touched my heart so deeply. The lyrics are amazing, and the meaning behind the song is so sweet. Just wanted to share the lyrics. :-)

Love Lives On, by Mallory Hope

I reached for you this morning,
Woke up with empty arms,
Once again it's sinking in,
How far away you are.
I still pour two cups of coffee,
And tell you all about my dreams,
This kitchen's way too quiet,
You should still be here with me...

And even though I cry like crazy,
Even though it hurts so bad,
I'm thankful for the time God gave me,
Even though he couldn't make it last.
I'm learning how to live without you,
Even though I don't want to,
And even with you gone, love lives on...

I still call your mom on Sundays,
It's good to hear her voice,
She always tells me that same story,
About her stubborn little boy.
And I kept your favorite t-shirt,
You know the one I used to hate,
Ain't it funny how it's the one thing now,
I just can't throw away...

And even though I cry like crazy,
Even though it hurts so bad,
I'm thankful for the time God gave me,
Even though he couldn't make it last.
I'm learning how to live without you,
Even though I don't want to,
And even with you gone, love lives on...

She comes with me on your birthday,
Little flowers in her hand,
She's always known that something's missing,
But too young to understand.
And someday she's going to ask me,
What kind of man you were,
I'll tell her all the ways I loved you,
And all the you I see in her...

And even though I cry like crazy,
Even though it hurts so bad,
I'm thankful for what God gave me,
And she's the perfect way to make it last.
I'm learning how to live without you,
Baby, I don't want you to,
But even with you gone,
Love lives on.

Baby, love lives on,
Love lives on...

I reached for you this morning,
Woke up with empty arms.

I could never imagine losing Frank. This song just makes my heart ache for anyone in this position. :-(
